There is no mountain higher than the wall That comes between two people once in love. But time can tear a mountain down with tears As former lovers slowly move towards touch. There is no happiness in hard, cold anger Twisted like a girder in one's way. The sun and rain can manage to grow flowers Across the bleakest crust of lava plain. So we, too, I hope, can manage friendship Upon the battlefield of past defeat. I would not want to lose our years of loving To moments caught for good in bitter light.
